How I view and use Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems is an incredible therapeutic modality that helps us connect with and care for all parts of ourselves. It allows us to find psycho-emotional harmony, leading us to rich, fulfilling lives. This intuitive framework is more than a method for practicing verbal psychotherapy—it is a functional and pragmatic philosophy we can learn from and apply in everyday life.

You can use this to help yourself create a map of your internal world to reveal the source of maladaptive strategies in your life. It allows you to effectively engage with different parts of yourself compassionately and update your neural software to make meaningful life changes. We'll utilize this process in a way that teaches you how to use it on your own, accelerating progress and reducing the amount of time and money you spend in therapeutic offices.

For good reasons, IFS is the fastest-growing therapy in the world - it is non-pathologizing, effective, and research-supported. Understanding that we have "no bad parts" - but rather a bunch of old software programs that just need a compassionate update, can dramatically shift how we relate to ourselves and others. I learned this method through mentorship with Robert Falconer, and it has completely altered how I approach healing with myself and others.
